Sympathies on your local difficulties. (Realized I should start with that.)
I quite like driving, actually; I find it relaxing, especially if I'm by myself and therefore can turn the music up as loud as I want.
However, I'm right there with you on the cognitive overhead maxing-out. Indeed, this comment is late to the party because for the past several weeks, I've been operating on the "I'm dealing with this thing because it's actively on fire, anything less doesn't even register" method. When questions like what to have for dinner result in deer-in-headlights paralysis, you know your stress levels have gotten out of hand.
